"Doctor doctor, will I die?"
"Yes my child... and so will I."
(anon)
It's true for you and me too. Meanwhile, let's find some meaning for ourselves, enjoy the beauty and do things that won't leave a mess for our kids and their kids.

I've been tagged..

This is new to me - as I understand it, I now have to do this on my site, since Vee tagged me on hers.

I am thinking about...Summer heat and where I'll be in five years.

I said..."What time is the ice cream night start tonight?" (It's called Sundae Sunday at our community building tonight.)

I want to...travel, write, love, live long.

I wish...we all recognized the oneness of our human family.

I hear...Steppenwolf playing in the next room - 19 year old son!

I wonder...how hummingbirds evolved - was it by getting bigger or smaller?

I regret...being unkind to someone named Susan many years ago.

I am...patient.

I dance...rarely and like a stiff old white guy.

I sing...when others do - especially old folk songs.

I cry...from books and film, not too often in real life.

I am not always...shaven.

I make with my hands...words on a screen, flowers in my garden, motions when I talk.

I write...because I am here.

I confuse...fir trees with pine trees.

I need...nothing.

And finally...may the road rise up to meet you and my you find peace within.

hand motions when you speak - I thought it was an unconscious habit. a very unBritish mannerism but I notice it creeping in with UK TV presenters - newsreaders are the worst. I suspect they are being coached, it looks so unnatural - like 'white dad dancing'. :o)

Progressive - yes Steppenwolf! (The Pusher Man was the song at the moment.) Glad you like Bob - he's a gem (in the rough).

Ian, I do public speaking sometime and one of my friends likes to do a parody of me with my hands moving around in a deliberately stiff and Englishman trying to be Italian kind of way. I hate that guy! (Not really Scott)
